Chapter 134 Where to Go
Chapter 134 Where to Go
The situation outside is getting worse and worse. Just looking at the scene just now, no one tried to stop it, which shows that everyone outside has become accustomed to it.
Pei Yu also put on a mask, of course, it was made by Tianqing. He was quite curious when he saw it. Later, after they set out on the journey together, Shen Li gave him one and asked him to study it himself.
Pei Yu looked at it carefully and thought that this thing called "mask" was very clever. Why had he never seen it before? It seemed that Miss Shen had many wonderful ideas. This was the biggest difference between her and others.
After handing it over to Tianqing, it was made very quickly.
Tianqing looked at the mask in his hand with satisfaction. He felt that if he followed his master out a few more times, he would be able to take over the position of the almighty Uncle Fu’s butler when he returned.
"Master Wei, do you know how long it will take us to leave Jingzhou?"
Pei Yu pondered for a moment, "At this rate, it will take another 5 days."
"After Jingzhou, there is Luozhou. The drought situation there is slightly better than in Jingzhou, but too many refugees are pouring into Luozhou now. We have to wait and see what the specific situation is."
"After arriving in Luozhou, I wonder which direction Miss Shen will choose to go?"
Shen Li frowned and thought. After arriving in Luozhou, he could pass through Qingzhou or Wujun and soon reach Suzhou.
"I do have a suggestion. We can go through Qingzhou. Although there was a flood in Qingzhou, the water has receded now and the victims have been properly resettled."
"And you don't have to worry about water supply if you go there. It's just that there was a disaster there, so the prices may be a bit high."
Shen Li nodded, "I can understand that. After all, there are disasters everywhere right now, and prices in other places are not much cheaper."
Hearing what he said, it was good to have experienced Qingzhou, but...
"Why not go through Wujun?"
Although Wu County was only a county, its scope was no smaller than other places and it had not experienced any disasters.
Pei Yu knew she would ask this, and explained with a smile: "Miss Shen has already understood the situation along the way. As far as I know, 80% of the refugees now choose to pass through Wujun. Do you think this is a good idea?"
Shen Li shook her head. If too many refugees poured in and the situation became too chaotic and difficult to manage, local officials would likely take some extreme measures.
"Is the situation in Qingzhou really as Master Wei said?"
Pei Yu nodded. "Of course, we are acting together now. Besides, it won't do me any good to deceive you, right?"
"If Miss Shen is still worried about the previous plague, there is no need to worry. The plague was resolved three months ago in all the prefectures and counties, including Qingzhou."
He did not say that he must pass through Qingzhou, but just analyzed the pros and cons of both sides to Shen Li and let her make her own choice.
Too many refugees have poured into Wu County, causing chaos not only in prices but also in prices. In comparison, Qingzhou, which has fewer people, is more suitable for their journey.
Shen Li nodded, not doubting what he said. According to the speed at which the plague spread, if it was not properly controlled, then Jingzhou where they were now would only become more chaotic.
"I'll discuss it with them."
"it is good."
Shen Li rode away from Pei Yu's carriage. Although his analysis made sense, she hadn't figured it out for the moment.
As of now, the plague has spread to Suzhou. It is said that there is a miracle doctor in the city, so the epidemic was brought under control so quickly.
The situation was not explained to them immediately. They came out of the forest in the afternoon. They traveled for more than two hours and overtook many groups of refugees.
At night, we saw a village on both sides of the official road and everyone chose to go there to rest.
The village was neither big nor small, and not only did they choose to settle down here, Shen Changshan also found a main house with four rooms in a row, and the yard was relatively intact. They had many people and livestock, so they needed a big yard to accommodate them.
Moreover, there are houses on both sides of the yard, which seem to be in good condition. If Master Wei doesn't want to squeeze here, he can take his men to the side.
Shen Zhenyuan's family and Dr. Liu's family chose the courtyard on the left. Just as Shen Changshan expected, Pei Yu did not go in, but chose a thatched house on the right.
Shen Li took off her mask, changed it, put the two sides of the removed mask together, and then brushed off the dust on the outside of the mask.
The speed was fast today. Except for the first carriage, almost everyone behind was eating dust, especially her since she was riding on a horse. When she brushed off her body, it was covered in dust.
It was fine sitting in the carriage, they opened the window and let in some dust.
There is no dead grass in this yard. The ground is compacted by mud, which is now cracked into a network of pieces. If you are not careful when walking, you will trip and get a mouthful of mud.
Everyone walked a lot more lightly, especially when cooking, as they didn't want to eat a pot of mud.
After dinner, Shen Li called several families together, told them what Pei Yu said today, and then waited for their decision.
After hearing this, Shen Changshan thought that if the situation in Qingzhou improved, it would really be much easier to go there.
"Ali, I think it's a good idea to go to Qingzhou. What do you think?"
Lin Hu also nodded, "I think we can go that way too. There's no shortage of water. As for food, we still have it. At worst, we can just save some food."
Doctor Liu nodded and indicated that it was okay to go through Qingzhou. Shen Zhenyuan lowered his head and thought, between two evils, choose the lesser of two evils, and going through Qingzhou is indeed the best route at the moment.
"Ali, going through Qingzhou is indeed beneficial to us. What do you think?"
Shen Li played an important role in their team. Although she did not show up directly most of the time, everyone already knew her after being on the road together for so long.
Shen Li himself was indeed very tempted to go to Qingzhou. Too many refugees had poured into Wu County. Not only were prices high and the situation chaotic, but even the things in the mountains and forests would be greatly reduced.
So, as it stands now, going to Qingzhou is indeed the best choice.
"Then we will temporarily go to Qingzhou."
"it is good."
Hearing this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He didn't intend to cover up the voice next to him, and with his skills, he probably couldn't cover it up at such a close distance.
He bent his slender fingers and tapped his brows. The words "tentative" were probably meant specifically for himself.
Well, it’s normal to be a little cautious when you’re out, especially as a woman.
This is a good thing.
If Tianqing knew what his master was thinking, he would probably complain in his mind.
Those girls who had been playing tricks in front of him before were all embarrassed by him and blushed.
This Miss Shen was probably treated like this because she saved her master.
